Death Wish

Death Wish is Director Eli Roth's remake of the 1974 Charles Bronson movie (both based on Brian Garfields' novel) and starring Bruce Willis. The story revolves around Dr. Paul Kersey as a surgeon who often sees the consequences of the city's violence in the emergency room. When his wife and young daughter were brutally attacked, Kersey becomes obsessed with delivering vigilante justice to the perpetrators. As the anonymous slayings grab the media's attention, the public begins to wonder if the deadly avenger is a guardian angel -- or the Grim Reaper itself.

I have not seen the original movie of Bronson but most who saw it says this remake is bland. Well, I liked this movie enough that I didn't fall asleep. I'm a Bruce Willis fan since Die Hard.
